    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 5: Japanese Generative Grammar focuses on the systematic application of the theory of generative grammar to the Japanese language. The phenomenon of reflexivization and its relationship to grammatical constructions, and how various grammatical constructions are systematically related to each other, are examined. The theoretical aspects of various grammatical structures of the Japanese language are also discussed. Comprised of 12 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the concept of subject in grammar, followed by an analysis of subject raising as a syntactic device in Japanese and other subject–object–verb (SOV) languages. Subsequent chapters explore the syntax and semantics of Japanese reflexivization, passivization, and causativization, along with relativization, complementation, and negation. Tense, aspect, and modality are also considered, along with the semantics of nominal compounds. The book concludes with an assessment of honorification as a salient feature of the Japanese language and the grammatical system of honorifics. This monograph will be of interest to grammarians and linguists.

    Syntax and Semantics, Volume 7: Notes from the Linguistic Underground is a collection of articles that were written in the 1960s, which has never before appeared in a regular, English language publication. The papers contained in this compendium provide the history and information on the development of transformational grammar and generative semantics. The book presents articles that discuss topics on reflexivization, transformations, past tense replacement and the modal system, and pro-sentential forms and their implications for English sentence structure. Papers that tackle syntactic orientation, some constraints on pronominalization, discourse referents, and the verb-object agreement rule and the wh-movement rule in Hungarian are likewise included. Linguists and linguistic historians will find the book invaluable.

  • Perspectives on the Coordination of Movement

    Is there a `right way' to study coordination? What experimental paradigms are appropriate? Are there laws and principles that the biological system uses to coordinate movement? Do all biological systems - human and otherwise - share these same principles? Is coordination inherited or acquired? Is it a central nervous system, muscular, or mechanical problem? Indeed, what is coordination and how can it be quantified?This volume attempts to help to answer some of these questions by bringing together a collection of conceptual approaches to and empirical investigations of the coordination of movement. The authors of the chapters are well known and respected researchers from a variety of disciplines.New theoretical developments such as in synergetics and dynamic pattern formation are presented together with extensive reviews and new experimental work on infant motor behavior, and the coordination of prehension, multi-limb, gait and speech movement. The volume contains perspectives on the problem of movement coordination relevant to various disciplines such as psychology, biology, engineering and robotics, physical education, physical therapy, kinesiology and physiology and so will be of interest to all students and scientists working in such fields.

    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 3 reviews major advances in the field of physiological psychology and includes neurological and physiological treatments of sleep, information storage, and hibernation. The mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration during sleep are highlighted, along with central nervous control over the physiological regulation of hibernation. This volume is comprised of four chapters and begins with a discussion on changes in sensory and motor physiology that occur during sleep, with emphasis on postural reflexes and motor activity as well as transmission of somatic sensory volleys through spinal reflex pathways. It then looks at the role of neuronal membranes in the storage of information in the central nervous system, along with hibernation and its relationship to neurological mechanisms involved in temperature regulation and motivation. The final chapter focuses on the effects of removing striate cortex on residual vision in monkeys. This monograph will be of interest to neurophysiologists and psychologists.

    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 2 is a five-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 deals with the application of recording of cortical steady potentials (DC potentials) to problems of motivation and learning, reflecting electrical changes correlated with these aspects of behavior and suggesting that steady potential shift may be a neurophysiological manifestation of Hull's behavioral concept of reaction potential. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the neurological mechanisms at work in learning and memory, especially the electrophysiological and neurochemical processes. Chapter 3 considers first the general properties of populations and communities of plants and animals, followed by a discussion on the influence of population pressures on various stages of reproductive function. This chapter also surveys the various theories concerned with the integration of mechanisms that regulate population growth and the natural selection of these mechanisms. Chapter 4 discusses the social interactions and population pressures, which act through the neuroendocrine systems to produce the degenerative changes that characterize arteriosclerosis, pancreatitis, cancer, and other diseases so prominent in civilized man. Chapter 5 describes the maternal and mating behavior showing the important role of limbic structures in positive as well as in negative motivated behavior. This book is directed toward neurophysiologists, psychologists, and researchers.

    Progress in Physiological Psychology, Volume 1 is a six-chapter text that covers the advances both in experimental and theoretical studies on physiological psychology. Chapter 1 provides the electrophysiological techniques to bear on classic problems of learning and performance in learning situations, while Chapter 2 describes the association between consciousness and attention. Chapter 3 considers the relations between functional demands and the development and maintenance of neural systems. This chapter also examines the effects upon microstructure and the various measures of neurochemical, neurophysiological, and behavioral growth. Chapter 4 presents certain dimensions of behavioral analysis, particularly in the continuing studies of self-stimulation and reward and punishment systems within the brain. Chapters 5 and 6 survey the mechanisms underlying motivation and emotional behavior. This book is of great value to neurophysiologists and psychologists.
